Seán FitzPatrick and two other former executives of Anglo will go on trial next year

The trial of three former Anglo Irish Bank executives, including Seán FitzPatrick, over alleged financial irregularities at the bank will not take place until next year.

Mr FitzPatrick, who was the former chairman and chief executive, former finance director Willie McAteer and former managing director in Ireland Patrick Whelan are all charged with 16 offences under the Companies Act.

They are accused of permitting Anglo to give financial assistance to Patricia Quinn, her five children and ten senior clients of the bank to enable them to buy shares in the bank.
